“You never know until they get here how good they’re going to be. You get some surprises.”Left unsaid: Those surprises cut both ways.
Today's Daily D also has a look back at the undefeated 1996 football team that won Dartmouth's most recent Ivy League title.
If you watched the NCAA men's Division I lacrosse championship game between Syracuse and Johns Hopkins, you kept hearing a familiar name. One of Hopkins' stars was Paul Rabil, brother of former Dartmouth football co-captain Mike Rabil '06. At one point, one of the ESPN announcers actually called the Hopkins All-American, "The great Paul Rabil." ... Rabil scored six goals, one short of the NCAA championship record, in a John Hopkins' loss. Find his bio and a head shot here.
The Shreveport Times has a quick Q&A with SEC commissioner Mike Slive, Dartmouth class of '62. ... The SEC has apparently been good for Slive because if you read the story you'll learn he's a good 10 years younger than he should be ;-)
Sad news out of Florida where former Cornell and Tampa Bay Bucs lineman Tom McHale was found dead at age 45. The St. Petersburg Times has a story.
Fresh from a tour of the Middle East with several high-profile coaches, Yale coach Jack Siedlecki and the others met with President Bush. Find a photo here.
There's more talk about abandoning redshirts and giving college football players five years of eligibility as this ESPN.com story writes. From the story:
NCAA statistics indicate that Division I-A college football players take an average of 4.7 years to graduate ...And:
Several coaches said the five-year eligibility plan would do away with "redshirt blues" that often affect young players who redshirt early in their careers but don't have a chance to compete in games.Note to Ivy Leaguers: Go ahead and read the story but don't get your hopes up. It will never happen in the Ancient Eight. Never.
